| Notes | Five of Damaskinos's works were located near the A' Municipal Cemetery (Α' Δημοτικό Νεκροταφείο) or the Corfu Cemetery church. The church's official name is Cemetery Church of the Resurrection (Ιερός Ναός Αναστάσεως Κοιμητηρίου) Corfu. Two of his works were transferred to the Municipal Gallery of Corfu but The Virgin Enthroned, Christ High Priest, and Saint Anthony are still part of the church's collection. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
